UNSPSC 85702447: Removal of internal fixation device from sacrum, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of internal fixation device from sacrum, percutaneous endoscopic approach. This surgical intervention or procedure is listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 as code 0QP144Z

UNSPSC 85702447, "Removal of internal fixation device from sacrum, percutaneous endoscopic approach," is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it reflect health plan administration, occupational medical surveillance, medical record summarization, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which align with orthopedic surgical device removal or the procedural scope the code name implies.

The mismatch between code label and actual procurement activity suggests either a taxonomic classification issue in the source data or that the code has been repurposed to capture broader medical administration and healthcare service contracting at the state and local level. Bidders evaluating opportunities under this code should verify the actual scope against the RFP or RFQ notice directly rather than relying on the code name as a scope descriptor. If the intent is to pursue medical services contracting with state and local health systems, counties, and municipal pension boards, the representative opportunities—Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation RFP (due October 16, 2026), Washington State Ferries' occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026), and Santa Clara Health System's temporary health professional staffing vehicle (due October 7, 2026)—illustrate the current demand pattern across Arizona, Washington, and California. However, the code itself does not reliably signal surgical device, orthopedic procedure, or related medical supply procurement activity at this time.
